There is a high demand for addiction treatment. But very often, the people who need this support don’t receive the help that they need.

Medical professionals specializing in the treatment of substance use disorders (SUD) and mental disorders are always one step ahead, always looking for ways to get individuals the help that they need and close this gap. Our team of experts at Granite Mountain Behavioral Healthcare knows firsthand about the growing number of people searching for treatment for their co-occurring disorders, as we experience it every day in our facility.

We truly understand that not only are mental health conditions and the disease of addiction are hard to manage, but admitting and reaching out for help is often the hardest part.

Going to treatment is one of the most powerful decisions a person suffering from addiction and mental illness will ever make, not only for themselves but also for their loved ones. A situation such as this can be both challenging and scary. It poses the notion of the unknown, leaving most people questioning themselves and what to expect.

We have streamlined our admissions process to be as accessible and seamless as possible. Our goal is to help make the transition into drug and alcohol treatment and recovery less difficult and stressful. The goal is to empower them (or their loved one) to focus on what matters most: overcoming the cycle of addiction.

What Happens After You Reach Out For Help

Someone admitting they need help with addiction is the first step. However, it can be harder when they don’t know what to expect when entering rehab.

To minimize complications and concerns, our admissions specialists at Granite Mountain will provide all incoming patients with the following:

• Intake process: The patient is given a confidential and extensive psychological evaluation
• Payment Information: Finances are a major reason why people feel burdened and deter from receiving the treatment that they need. We assess an individual’s case and then provide them with information regarding payment options including insurance coverage information and benefits.
• Facility Information: Information about the facility is given entailing what services and treatment programs are offered.
• What to Expect: A guide of what to expect during detox and treatment is given to each person to prepare them for their journey to recovery. This includes what to bring and what not to bring to the facility.

Our team of highly trained experts has put together a comprehensive guide, detailing each step of our admissions process, including what to expect during and after treatment for substance abuse and/or mental health conditions.

Step 1: Get in Touch

At Granite Mountain, when you call, one of our admissions representatives will be there to assist you through this already intimidating and emotionally-charged process.

• Substance abuse and history
• Mental health history
• Details about one’s life, including the environment they live in

Step 3: Orientation

After completing the admissions process over the phone, we give people an official treatment start date of when to come into our facility. Upon arrival, an orientation of getting to know us and our facility (and us getting to know you) will be conducted. If you are traveling to tour our facility, or ready to commit to treatment before arriving, you can learn about Prescott Valley here or click here for directions to our facility.

Step 4: Evaluation and Detox

After getting acquainted during orientation, we continue the preliminary psychosocial evaluation that was initially conducted on the phone. This intake interview is very crucial! It helps us medical professionals understand each person’s case and their needs.

We strive to effectively and efficiently evaluate everyone who comes into our facility. This allows us to lay the foundation to create and map out a high-quality, personalized comprehensive treatment plan, and schedule, in order to meet one’s needs. Knowing one’s history of substance abuse and mental illness can help our medical professionals effectively (and accurately) address people’s needs. Missing any underlying factors, especially about mental health, can be detrimental to the recovery process and a person’s overall health.

Detoxification

After a person has stopped abusing addictive substances for some time, the body reacts through withdrawal symptoms. These physical and psychological side effects are often unpleasant. As a means to relieve these symptoms, a person can go through a pre-treatment process called medically-assisted detox (MAT). The body purges the toxins from drinking and taking drugs with the assistance of various types of therapy and FDA-approved medications.

The detoxification process before treatment will be accomplished safely under medical supervision. Our philosophy of care is to always provide individuals suffering, with the resources for how to prevent relapse, achieve long-term care and sobriety, resulting in optimal recovery. Medically-assisted detox allows people to prepare mentally and physically for treatment.

What to Expect During Admissions

When you arrive at Granite Mountain, you’ll check-in and begin the admissions process. Our caring admissions team will inspect your bags so that no prohibited items are brought into the facility to ensure everyone’s safety.

Insurance and Payment Information

Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), health insurance companies are required to cover the cost of addiction and mental health treatment. How much coverage and what benefits may be included depends on the type of insurance one has.

Research has shown that financial burden is one of the most common reasons why people do not receive the treatment that they need. As a testament and dedication to our clients, we accept most private insurance plans for addiction treatment services (including dual diagnosis). If you are not sure if you can afford treatment or have insurance coverage, call us to verify.
